Table 11.3 shows the specification of

four types of ice cream containers P, Q,
R and S, that can be used by an ice
cream seller to carry ice cream.

You are required to determine the most

suitable ice cream container to carry ice
cream. Study the specification of the
four types of ice cream container based
on the following aspects:
- Specific heat capacity of ice cream
box
- Size of ice cream box
- Material of outer box
- Colour of outer box
Explain the suitability of the aspects

30. Quantitative problem: SBP 08

A solid substance, of mass 0.05 kg, is
heated using an immersion heater of
240 V, 0.1 kW. Diagram 11.4
shows the heating curve of the solid.

32. Melaka 09
Diagram
iagram 12 shows an immersion
heater used to boil water until it
vaporizes. The immersion heater has a
power rating of 500 watts, 230 V .

Calculate
(a) The specific latent heat of fusion
of the substance
(b) The specific heat capacity of the
substance in liquid state

31. Quantitative:: Melaka Mid 08
A small mass of gas is trapped by 3 cm
length mercury in a small tube as
shown in the diagram. The tube is then
turned around so that it is upright.
What is the new length of the trapped
gas?
(Atmospheric pressure = 75 cm Hg)
